Dynamic Play of Lines by the Artist Bernar Venet

Exhibition at Guy Pieters Gallery, Knokke-Heist, Belgium
Reflection by Prof. Anton van der Geld, BeNeLux-University Center (B.U.C.)

Bernar Venet is considered one of the most influential contemporary European artists. His extensive oeuvre is rooted in conceptual art and minimalism, yet it speaks a strikingly physical language: lines that bend, twist, and make the weight of Corten steel visible. Many people know his impressive 60-metre-high Arc Majeur (2019) along the E411 motorway in Belgium—the tallest sculpture in public space anywhere in Europe.
